Another peek....

These photos are just a little bit better than those from my last post ~

Thank you so much for your sweet, encouraging words too!!

You just don't realize how much your opinions and

comments empower me!

I'd love to get your feedback too...

you all have wonderful taste and I would love to hear

any other ideas YOU may have for packaging these soaps!

I'm going with a spring theme for the display and

of course have to use burlap....

Do you have any tips or tricks about what items to use

as props or to help achieve a beautiful display?

I have some beautiful store bought nests that I'll use

to tuck some of the egg soaps in.

Plus I want to purchase several apothecary jars

to display soap in bulk too.

Store owners may want to purchase the eggs

and sell them by the piece!

The square soap is a lavender French-milled soap and smells

HEAVENLY!!

The shell soap is a French-milled soap as well and has it's own

beautiful clean scent.

I'm thinking baskets, nests, glass apothecary jars....etc.

Any other ideas sweet friends??

Today we head to the Atlanta Merchandise Mart to size up our space!!!

Wishing you a wonderful first Monday of the new year!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

and I've found the most PERFECT use for peat pots!!!!

Yes, I said it.

Peat pots....

I have a thing for them you know ~

they are such a sweet reminder of Spring, don't you think??

Just a little peek....if you can tell anything at all from this photo :)

Wish me luck sweet friends ~

I hope you have a restful and peaceful Sunday....

What will this new year hold???

Can you EVEN believe it's already time for the new year???

It really is a wonderful time, isn't it?

A time for fresh beginnings ~

A time to make changes ~

A time for a new start....

But what will this new year hold?

I feel that WE hold this answer, don't you???
At this time in my life, I've finally realized that

if we want things to change in our lives,

WE have to change them!

What do I want to change in my life?

I would like to have more COURAGE!!!

Yes, you heard right.

I doubt myself, I doubt my capabilities and even doubt my art ~

I think I'm afraid to push myself to the next level...

So my big step is teaching a class at Karla's Bird Song retreat this spring!!!

Am I mortified?

Yes.

But I will push through and do this!!!!

I want to help more with

my family's business

Shop Fun Soap

with new product design and

don't fall out or be shocked....

but I'm going to work at the trade show this January!!!!!!

Yes, I'm an old bag and

I'll fit in at the Atlanta Merchandise Mart

like oil in water....

but I do know what's beautiful

and look forward to selling our wonderful soap!!!

No, I really don't make resolutions....

but I do have aspirations ~
things that I would love to see happen.

I don't know why I've posted these pics....

Except that they are beautiful to me....

This is a photo of a building in Savannah ~ I just love the perspective!

My new year's wish for you???

That your new year is full of promise
and that you will be happy, healthy and achieve
all that you want to!!!!

hugs and love precious friends,

Dawn
